: Belle and Jolie are also used as names. I've seen Mignon (for example Mignon Dunn, opera singer).

jolie or belle
if you go with jolie or belle, it would be very common, try something very different, like Lucille or Gwendoline...

: As I said in a peer comment long before. in any case, the person wants to have names that mean beautiful and I don't understand your comment about Jolie and Belle being 'very common'.

: Jolie and Belle obviously mean "beautiful". Lucille comes from "light" in latin, and Gwendoline means "white circle" in celtic. I think Alexanna is inviting Bryanna to choose a name meaning "beautiful" which is more mysterious and rare.

Annabelle / Jolianne
Annabelle means "Pretty Ann" and Jolianne means "Pretty Ann" (I know two young girls with such first names).
Also, two of my grand-daughters are names "Maly" and "Annamay". It does not translate in what you are asking for, but I'm suggesting these first names because these two little girls are breathtakingly beautiful and their names are rare and original.
Good luck in your search of "a first name for life".

Gracieuse
Or you could go with names that evoque how adorable she is, like "Coquette", or the name of a flower: My daughter's name is "Capucine" which is (in my opinion) a completely adorable name... :-D
After all the suggestions my colleagues have given you, I think you have some food for thought...

Brianne
In my country the ancient tradition says the baby gets the first name of the godparent. Yours Bryanna means power, nobiliy, respect in celtic. Other propositions : Abia = exceptional (arabic); Adina = noble (greek); Aela = angle (latin); Caitlin, Carine = Pure (greek); Jenifer = sweet (celtic); Jelena = light (russian). I wouldn`t ignore the other names proposed by our colleagues. You should also consider the length of the second name and check how the two sound together. Good luck!
